Let me just jump on the bandwagon and say that this is an awesome addition to Construct. Here's some suggestions that to me would make it an indespencible tool. (I'm sure others have requested the same or similar.)

1) seing a preview of the animation you're making would drastically improve workflow.2) if possible, a linear timeline type bar for navigating and moving/creating keyframes3) the ability within the editor to switch any of the bone-animated sprites to a different animation at any keyframe4) the ability to change the semitransparency and dimensions of an object per keyframe.

as you can tell, number 3 is especially important to me. Anyone who wants to know what I'm hoping to be able to do with bone animation, please go on youtube and check out gameplay footage of "Odin Sphere" for the ps2.

Well, that is a highly specialized animation software. Construct is a generic game development tool; bone animation is a much smaller part of the engine compared to Anime Studio Pro. How many games that use bone animation are there compared to games that do not?

Granted, having a more intuitive bone animation plugin would be nice, but I think it is not that important for Construct, which would benefit from many other additional features.

There would be alot more games that use bone style animation IF it were supported by common authoring tools. I guarantee you lots or maybe MOST of us will be using the bone animation in some or all of our projects.

In fact humbler versions of this style of animation are used constatly in developing for platforms where memory is limited. You'd be hard-pressed to find a good mobile or handheld 2d action game that isn't using this technique.

I haven't said that it should be axacly the same, but some of the GUI ideas, and some of/the most nessesary features could be 'nicked'
